And Atlanta is shining once again.

The 2026 Braves are off to a phenomenal start.

18-8.

A lot of people, including myself, I didn't write the Braves off, but I said, here it comes again.

Because last year they dealt with so many injuries that derailed the season.

And really, if you go back the last couple years, 2024, they won 89 games, but that's not up to the standards of the Braves.

The year before that, 104.

The year before that, 101.

So they took a big step back in 2024, ended up losing the wild card to the Padres.

They get swept 2-0.

Last year, 76-86.

Last year, a snicker there.

Not blaming it on him, just saying.

Walt Weiss comes in.

The entire vibe has changed with the Braves this year, and a lot of it has to do, obviously, with the players.

Drake Baldwin leading the way offensively for them.

Matt Olsen kind of back to doing what he's doing.

Both those guys are mid-nines OPS right now.

You talked about Michael Harris coming out, 920 OPS for him.

So he came on at the end of last year.
